NIGERIA GOVERNMENT AGAIN THREATEN TO PUNISH FAKE DEGREE HOLDERS.

The Federal Government has once again reinstated it's commitments in dealing with acquisition of fake certificate as the  security agencies will go after individuals with fake  certificates in the country.


The Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, disclosed this during the first quarterly citizens and stakeholders’ engagement in Nigeria’s education sector on Tuesday, 2nd April, 2024, in Abuja.


Tahir,  said, there would be transformation in the education sector with the unveiling of a 13-pillar roadmap.


The minister revealed that for proper planning to be done in the sector, especially from a basic level, it has become imperative to build a reliable and authentic database that would promote skills acquisition, development and reduce to the nearest minimum, the number of out-of-school children.


Early in 2024, the minister said  security agents would go after Nigerians with fake certificates from foreign countries already using them to secure opportunities in the country.


The minister described such individuals as criminals and not victims.


He said “I have no sympathy for such people. Instead, they are part of the criminal chain that should be arrested,” the minister had said.


He  also said the Federal Government would suspend degree certificates from more countries like Uganda, Kenya and the Niger Republic.


“We are not going to stop at just Benin and Togo. We are going to extend the dragnet to countries like Uganda, Kenya, even Niger where such institutions have been set up,” he had said.


It could be recalled that an undercover journalist some months ago  detailed how he acquired a degree from a university in Benin Republic under two months and in fact, deployed for the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC.



The Federal Government had immediately suspended accreditation of certificates from the two francophone West African nations and launched a probe which the minister said should submit its report in three months.
